But we're not talking about a. situation where a client just wants to change the focus of therapy but instead is trying to insist the therapist react in as certain way and repeatedly getting angry when the T tries to explain why she is acting a certain way or why she believes the requested reaction is not in the client's best interest.

I completely agree that a client has a right to request a method of therapy hat he or she believes to be more helpful. I do not believe the T should have to implement that method if she believes it is not in the client's best interest. The client is free to stay or go when the T makes that determination. When the T has clearly indicated she will not change, I do not see the point in staying but continuing to rail at the T and continually be angry and complaining about it.

My first T just irritated to me to no end. I hated the blank slate thing he was doing. I ended up having a mini meltdown about it and he agreed to try a different method. Had he refused, I would have simply changed therapists. If the T refuses, he or she refuses. They are an autonomous person and attempting to browbeat the T into accommodating a client when the T believes it is not in the client's best interest is, in my opinion simply wrong.
